Mystery Chickies, Any Ideas??? (Pic Heavy)

[tharrell]

Any ideas on any of these guys on either breed or gender? I think I might have a couple figured out, but I hate to give away some pullets when I thought they were cockerals. I'm only allowed 10 birds on my property, and currently I have 11. Any help would be GREATLY appriciated! In these pics they are about 5 weeks old or so. Thanks so much in advance!!!

I'm no expert but the black one may be a barred rock. I do know they are very cute!!!

The big one in pic 6 looks like it could be a cockerel. Other than that... Sex links? Who knows?

A little more info would be helpful.

I was thinking those ones are barred rocks, but is there anyway to tell the difference between a black sex link rooster and barred rock at this age? I bought them with the other black one so that was kind of my thoughts on them.

Any other ideas?

Actually, they all look kinda like fuzzy dinosaurs to me.
Where did you get them?

Ok I am going to "try" and help here....


Pic #1-I am leaning towards pullet, watch for the wattles to come out more...
Pic #2-Is not a BR unless it is a hatchery bird. The barring isnt right for a breeders so i would say a sex-link of some kind. Gender wise, I think it is a cockerel. If the picture is correctly lit, I am seeing some wattles coming out.
Pic #3-He is a He. so far it is the best example of what wattles should look like at 5 weeks. could be a BO
Pic #4-again, chick in the back is a cockerel. Cant tell if it is the same bird as pic #3.
Pic #5-Black chick in the back could be a cockerel. His wattles are more pronounced then the other that I can see so i would guess...cockerel in the back. The other one i cant see any wattles but it could be the way the picture is taken. I also see a white dot on that ones head indicating a possible BR. If it the same bird as pic #9 you have a pullet!!!


I am not an expert at sexing but these are my opinions. They are all cute and enjoy them!
